Guest Mika Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Help! I have downloaded Mandriva 2007 live CD. First time I have booted it upitworked well. I have set all infos that setupa sked me(timezones,language... 3D enviorment). And then I have shut it down. When I tried to boot it up again, half an hour later it didn't work anymore. I have noticed that booting freezes at point after HAL daemon.It says "OK"for HAL daemon but then system just stops booting from CD. CD rom and diks stop working...system frozen. I really like Mandriva it lokos amazing and I want to finally go from Windows to linux but situations like this doesn't help. Can anyone help me...please...

Ixthusdan Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Welcome! First, some clarity. Have you installed the distro or are you just booting live? What is your hardware? Might I also suggest changing your thread name to a more descript question rather than HELP! It will attract better attention. After all, everyone here needs help. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'd try one of the boot options from the menu before you boot the CD. I think you can type something like: linux noapic and see if that does it. If not, you can try others like: nolapic acpi=off and you can just add them to the end of the original line I provided, so something like: linux noapic nolapic and then just add the last one, acpi if you have problems with that not working. Post back and let us know how you're getting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
